To which of these affiliations do you have the most loyalty?
-
@evan my ideals and my family
-
@evan and because we’re both grad students there, go bees too, I guess
@VTDARKSIM ha!
What are you studying? -
@evan I don't have much "loyalty" to any of the above choices. Since the only flag I've ever purchased for of any of those was for my university, (and only because the neighbors were flying their school flags!) that was my top choice.
-
To clarify, I voted for city. Though I have no particular loyalty to the US, San Francisco has been my home for 23 years.
@funcrunch I'm glad you have a place you feel safe. You deserve that.

*Relatively* safe. Being Black and trans is still an issue even in San Francisco.

Friends, this is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything you could feel loyalty to.
If your number 1 isn't on this list, pick the thing that's on this list that's highest ranked, even if it's number 3,450,179.

And if you want to tell me your number one, add a comment!

@evan my public library

@evan to my values! Or to my friends. The closest option to values is "party". "City" is a good runner-up, since my city (Berkeley) reflects my values pretty well.
I mean, partying is worth fighting for too. You know, you gotta fight for your right.

@evan Nominally, I just picked Fediverse Instance, except that's the one that comes closest, but none of those is the true object of my loyalty. When I gave it a moment of thought, the *loyalty* applies to a human or community of humans. I don't remain "loyal" to an institution or organization in the absence of a higher-order connection to it. Like, if a political party I have supported shifts badly in a direction I can no longer support, the brand is not what'll keep me there.
-
@evan a good reminder that all of these are transient to a degree.
Although I'm happy with my instance, I chose city, interpreting it as hometown or region more than where I currently live.
Unlike the others, it will always shape me as a person, even if it lets me down.
But none of the choices are top ten.
